WARRIOR, Alabama - The city of Warrior adopted new guidelines for
its building inspector position during the City Council meeting Monday night.

The
Warrior City Council opted to change the position from a part-time post to a
contract position in December of last year in an effort to save money. Mayor
Johnny Ragland said it benefits the city financially to hire a contractor on an
as-needed basis instead of paying a part-time salary. The contract position calls
for the inspector to be paid $20 per call and $12 per hour.

City
officials started accepting applications in January, but decided to change the
parameters of the job. The council approved the new guidelines last night. The city will send the revised contract terms to all
those who previously applied and set up interviews. Ragland said he wasn't sure
if city officials will re-post the job.
